nritES intErAct with A tEAm From thE britiSh coUnciL

One of the important responsibilities that an educational institute has

is to give as much exposure possible to their students. N.R. Institute of Business Administration understands this responsibility, and therefore, we never miss a chance to expose our students to various talks, workshops and seminars. In the past, the NRites have visited campuses like IIMA, AMA, MICA to attend workshops by renowned academicians. This time, when a team from the British Council showed an interest to interact with the students, we grabbed the opportunity. Not only that, when this was mentioned to Shri Sudhirbhai Nanavati, during one of his campus visits, he also wholeheartedly welcomed the idea and offered to have that meeting in the GB room, Central Office.

The team from the British Council consisted of three members – Beth Caldwell, Moumita Bhattacharya and Manju Rajan. All three members, especially Beth, were extremely warm and amicable in their interaction with students. The meeting was mainly to have a focused group discussion on what students feel about English language, how it should be taught, what are the uses of the language and to what extent they are eager to learn the language. The NRites managed to impress the team with their inquisitiveness and with their comfortable approach to the whole discussion. In the span of around 2 hours, the NRites led the discussion from English language to Indian culture and to the effects of Brexit. It was a feeling of content to see that the students were not shy while talking to people they are meeting for the first time, and that they were able to take the knowledge of management subjects out of the

classrooms, and use it in their interaction with the team.

NRBBA is grateful to Shri Sudhirbhai for providing this

facility and comfort to us, and to the staff of Central office who have been helpful to us during this meet.

mAnomAnthAn cLUb At nrbbA : chAi PE chArchA chAi ki…

Rabindranath Tagore had once discussed the idea of freedom in his very

famous poem ‘Where the mind is without fear…’, and one of the points that he emphasized here was ‘where knowledge is free’. The faculty members at NRBBA have imbibed this idea of ‘free knowledge’ and therefore time and again they take their teaching sessions beyond the class room. Manomanthan is a club initiated and managed by

Dr. Belur Baxi where students are taught beyond the class room.

This year’s Manomanthan club was based on ‘Chai pe Charcha Chai ki ’, where the students discussed the history of Tea in India, local and national tea market players and tea market analysis of and development of various tea brands. Despite being a Sunday morning, the students participated in the club activity with full enthusiasm.

a world without the splash of colours.

How monochromic would it be to view things in shades of Black/White ! !

‘Life is all about using the whole box of crayons’ and so to appreciate this colourful box, C. U. Shah Primary School celebrated the Yellow & Green day. Students from the I to the IV Std brought out their relevance & importance of green colour – the colour of life, nature renewal, growth and energy. Students of Std V to VIII highlighted the shades of Yellow – the colour of intellect, wisdom, hope, happiness & sunshine. The relevance of these two colours was depicted

through outfits, placards, charts and other creativity.

‘The essential of the beautiful is Unity in variety’. The amalgam of the seven colours of the rainbow is synonymous to the amalgamation of various diversities seen

across the North-South length & East-West width of India.

The celebration of The Green & Yellow day was just one step to encourage students to appreciate and accept individuality along with sensitivity.

secondary school had celebrated

Gurupurnima to imprint the significance of Indian culture. This day started with colourful rangoli of flowers by the students. Student inspired by our honorable principal Smt. Sunanda Shah, tied up a red string in the hand of shri Sudhirbhai Nanavati , the head of GLS family and executive vice president of GLS, and The president of GLS University.

Students expressed their feelings through speech.’Tabla Vadan’ by Shourya and his team and ‘Kathhak’ by Manushree gave sublime touch to the environment in the hall. The inspirational speech by principal mam , signified the significance of ‘Gurupurnima’.

Talking about the significance of Guru Purnima principal Mrs. Sunanda Shah explained that education is ongoing process from womb to tomb. So we come across numerous teachers on the way. Teachers in school and college teach us subjects which will help and guide us to survive in day to day living of material world. While teaching subjects of material life they touch our heart and pass on real knowledge

to help us grow emotionally and spiritually.

Purnima means full moon day and as we all know that Moon has tremendous magnetism and on full moon day it’s highest. So when you bow down in front of your Guru on this particular day blessings becomes so many times richer. Whatever you have in your mind and whatever your teacher desire to give multiply. So this day is chosen to pay respect to the teachers.

Never run after any person and worship them like God. As each human being are having some shortcomings, and when he dies you will feel lost. Only follow their good teachings.

Each of us has real Guru in our inner self helping and guiding us on real path. We all have experience that something stops you from within and guide us to choose the right path. So that is your real Guru, Your inner voice, it can be called Voice of the silence. So listen to that and lead your life.

Sacrifice for others and be kind and compassionate towards suffering humanity. Learn from the Mother Nature to treat everyone equally and generously look around and see sun, air, sky, water and Earth how they work without discrimination. All your good learning will continue for lives to come but material gain will not accompany you after this life.

U n S U n G h E r o E SBy Pearl Rodriques

After the start of a new academic session in June, we all look

forward to the month of August - the eight month of our present modern Gregorian calendar. The month is marked with an air of merry - making owing to various celebrations which invariably includes our pompous euphoric Independence day.

Every year on the 15th of August, we redefine our freedom with a fresh meaning savored with the sentiments of pride, oneness and commitment. It is also on this day along with jubilation we recall the innumerable sacrifices made by martyrs to give us our own motherland – India with milk and honey.

This year while our nation proudly memorializes its 70th Independence Day I, in a small endeavor would like to commemorate some of the national heroes who remained subaltern and marginalized on the golden pages of our history.

Students of N.R. Institute of Business Administration have been having a series

of workshops this month. The series began with ‘Enriching English Vocabulary’ workshop that was conducted by Mr. Mangesh Parelkar, a proficient teacher of English language who runs a language and quizzing institute in Ahmedabad. Mr. Parelkar taught the first year students ways to remember and use new English words. He strongly suggested the students to regularly read the English magazines and use thesaurus in their day to day life.

book rEviEwBy Karan Raghani

nAmESAkEThe family saga is a tried

The family saga is a tried and true literary genre, one

that usually follows a central clan as they grow, marry, have children, age and eventually die.

Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake is such a novel. The narrative follows the Ganguli family, starting with patriarch Ashoke’s close encounter with death as a young man when he survives a train crash in his native India. On the train, he happened to be reading a book by his favorite author, Nikolai Gogol. so it is that years later, when he is living in America with his new wife, Ashima, he decides to give their newborn son the pet name “Gogol.” It soon becomes his given name, but for years little Gogol is unaware of the significance behind it.

We follow the family as

Gogol grows from child to teenager, and becomes increasingly alienated from his parents’ immigrant way of doing things. He’s the quintessential first-generation American son. He never speaks to them in Bengali, and he’s embarrassed by their idiosyncrasies. He is also increasingly embarrassed by his strange name. When he turns fourteen, Ashoke gives Gogol a little volume of Nikolai Gogol stories, but Gogol barely gives it a glance.

Besides this question of heritage, another one of the themes that’s very effectively dealt with is death. Ashoke’s near-death experience as a young man continues to color his understanding of the world in the decades that follow. It gives him a deep appreciation for life and for his family, including his two terribly American children.

So when Ashoke dies unexpectedly while on a business trip years later, it feels for

Ashima, Gogol and his sister that it is far too soon. The shock of the experience is sparsely, skillfully expressed in Lahiri’s narrative: Ashima speaks to Ashoke on the phone after he has checked himself into the emergency room — it seems like something minor, he asks her to make a doctor’s appointment for him when he gets home. Later that evening, she is trying to reach him, and she calls the hospital to inquire after him. This is when a nurse tells her that her husband has “expired.” Gogol,

the prodigal son, leaves his swanky, independent life in New York City to help, flying to Cleveland to claim the body and pack up his father’s temporary apartment. “Thinking of his father living here, alone these past three months, he feels the first threat of tears, but he knows that his father did not mind, that he was not offended by such things.” In the apartment, Gogol finds sneakers, flip-flops, a photo of the family on the refrigerator, four plates, two mugs, four glasses, some tea and sugar and rice.

He cancels the utilities, calls his father’s workplace, returns the leased Car.

These mundane activities are, for Gogol, at once therapeutic and unfulfilling. After packing up all of his father’s belongings, he lies on the couch to sleep, and that happened to his father. “Gogol imagines his father by the door, bending over to tie his shoelaces for the last time.

Putting on his coat and scarf and driving to the hospital. Stopping at a traffic light, listening to the weather report on the radio, the thought of death absent from his mind.”

This blunt portrayal of losing a loved one is refreshing in its Mind, no extraneous explorations of feelings or soul-searching or analyzing relationships. It’s simply how the family deals with losing Ashoke, what they think about, what they do and how they proceed. Buoyed by Jhumpa Lahiri’s lucid, lovely writing, The Namesake treats the story of the Ganguli family with respect and honesty, so that we all see ourselves in their experiences, no matter how particular — it still feels universal.

I Highly Recommend The Book As it teaches the importance of Cultures and Value of Blood Relations.

The workshop was conducted by Prof. Rajiv Joshi from Institute of Management Technology, Nagpur. He elucidated the importance of case method of teaching by defining it as a method of bringing industry to the class in a controlled environment. He explained the participants the way in which the case should be introduced, the types of questions which can be used as prompts or the lead questions which would help to elicit

responses from the students. He suggested that case method of teaching would complement the traditional method of teaching only if the teacher prepared teaching notes for effective case administration.

The workshop was attended by around 40 participants from GLS University, Gujarat University and Gujarat Technological University.
